From the organizer

La Gozadera Social MKE is a Milwaukee-based Latinx dance social rooted in salsa, community, and cultural connection.

Organized by a team of culturally fluent creatives and experienced dancers, La Gozadera Social MKE blends DJ-driven Latinx music, themed nights, performance showcases, and thoughtful visual identity to create a vibrant social dance experience.
